Guardians Of The Galaxy: 10 Marvel Cameos We Need To Happen (And How)
10. Nova
One thing we do know is that the Nova Corps are set to be a large part of Guardians Of The Galaxy. In the comics, the Corps are Xandars police/military elite force, capable of tapping into the Nova Force, a cosmic energy source that provides them with super powers (a little like DCs Green Lantern Corps). Naturally, theres a human member of the Nova Corps, one Richard Rider, known to Marvel readers for a number of years now simply as Nova, the Human Rocket. Nova is a fairly important part of the cosmic stories that have been told in and around the Guardians Of The Galaxy comics for the last few years, and we wouldnt put it past Kevin Feige and his cabal of Marvel creatives to have decided to sneak him into Guardians Of The Galaxy to give a sly nod to those stories, and to fans in the process. All it would take is a swift introduction, Peter Quill to Richard Rider, as the only two humans on Xandar, and Bobs your mothers brother. Of course, if the movie is as big a hit as theyre hoping, theres a whole load of spin off possibilities. We could see the Human Rocket in his own movie mini-franchise before the decade is out.
